Documentary Films
Internews is currently working on the production of 10 twenty-minute documentaries which will feature the EU-Georgia partnership. Each film will be devoted to one concrete topic-a project implemented in Georgia by the European Union within the framework of the European Neighborhood Policy.
Internews recruited a film-director and a group of journalists for the production.
The documentaries will be broadcasted by a national broadcaster Rustavi 2. Both production and broadcast will be carried out in two cycles. The first five films will be aired in January-February 2010, and the other 5 documentaries - May-June 2010.
The films will be translated into Armenian and Azeri languages as well with the purpose of their broadcast in Samtskhe-Javakheti and Kvemo-Kartli regions where the two Georgia’s biggest national minorities reside. The translated films will be aired by two local television stations in Samtskhe-Javakheti (ATV-12 in Akhalkalaki and Paravani in Ninotsminda) and two local broadcasters in Kvemo-Kartli (Channel 12 in Bolnisi and Marneuli TV in Marneuli).
Documentary Film "Address – New Settlement "
991 IDPs live in the village of Prezeti situated in Mtskheta district. They are the people who were forced to leave their homes as a result of the August War between Russia and Georgia in 2008. 300 families from Akhalgori district and Didi Liakhvi area were relocated here 4 months after the war.
In October 2008 the European Union allocated 500 million dollars to Georgia for overcoming the consequences of the war.
Documentary Film "On the Verge of War and Peace "
The film is about the life of people who suffered the consequences of the August War between Russia and Georgia that took place in 2008. The film tells about the assistance that they received from European Union so that they could return to their homes.
These people have to live in a danger zone. The biggest guarantee of peace in the conflict zone is the European Union Monitoring Mission, which has been patrolling the border with Tskhinvali region during the last year.
